Picnic on the Piste

25th January 2011

Val d’Isere has been enjoying the most wonderful clear blue skies and sunshine over the last week. The team here needed no second thoughts when I suggested a picnic on the piste, so despite the freezing cold, off we set to our destination…The Eye of the Needle over in Tignes.

Sam, always likes to have a chair to himself!

We got to the top, found ourselves a comfortable spot with amazing views and sat down to enjoy a well earnt feast.

Guest Testimonials

My other half and I have had the most incredible week. The staff have been extremely helpful, friendly, welcoming and have gone over and above to make our stay very special. I'd like to say a special thank you for the extra efforts that went in to make my other half's birthday such a fabulous experience. We shall not forget how great you have been to us!

I just wanted to drop you a line to say how impressed we all were with our holiday in Meribel! Everyone, from three to fifty three, had a ball – so much so that we all want to return next year!
Josie and Richard were the perfect hosts, the food was out of this world, and together along with Sam and Nicky - they were a tremendous advertisement for Fish & Pips . They were so impressive that Shay, our thirteen year old, wrote them a thank you note at 6am on the day of our departure – I'm not sure which surprised me more that fact that he felt compelled to do so at all or the fact that teenagers can still use a pen and paper!! Anyhow, I just thought you should know how impressed everyone was with you and your team – and I shall speak to Emma about booking the chalet for next year – hopefully it will be available!!

Seb was outstanding all week. Wonderful food, care and attention. Nothing was too much trouble. Considering re-booking with you next year.

We had a marvelous time and were brilliantly looked after by Sophie, Annabelle , Niall and Lewis. The flat was spick and span and the food and wine were stunning. Back in London after a great time in Val and nothing but praise for the team.

Once again we've had the perfect holiday with F&P. All the way through the process it has been a slick and professional. Can't fault it. Niall and Jack have been absolutely superb. The food has been fantastic and Jack's hosting faultless. Hope we can hijack Niall next year when we return.
